Hello everyone; I've long been mostly a lurker on these forums, but love the whole Dented Helm community. Through your help, over the course of a year I was able to put together a complete RotJ Fett that I proudly took to several cons. It's almost all the best stuff I could get my hands on; all bobamaker fiberglass and soft parts, sidewinder blaster (signed by Jeremy Bulloch), CA boots, custom real leather ammo belt, tk409 chest display, etc. Unfortunately, I think it's the right time for me to move on.

I know it's a decision I'll regret a few times, but it's still the right one. I've had a lot of great times in my Fett, but I recently lost someone close to me, and it has taken the luster out of trooping. I'll be using the money to move and build a new life, which in the end will be good for me

My question to you guys is whether it's best to part out a complete suit like this, or try to sell it as a whole. Once I settle on that, I'll post about it in the cargo bay and throw the auction(s) up on ebay. It will be sad to see all my heard work go, but I'll be glad if the person is a part of this great community.

JimmyBuffett is the only dented helmer I recall meeting at DragonCon 2007. Any of my bloodfin garrison members that have met me would likely give me a thumbs up. Figured I'd post the pieces that make it up here: will move this to the cargo bay soon--still at work.

It should be noted that I am 6'2'', and in most my photos weigh 180lbs, so things are made to fit that with some give in either direction. I recently dropped down to 160lbs, and it still fits well. Everything is already weathered and color appropriately for RotJ accuracy:

Helmet: Bobamaker fiberglass and painted by bobamaker. Includes his delux range finder, which can be adjusted up or down by hand.

Chest, collar, shoulder and back armor: all bobamaker fiberglass, painted by bobamaker. The back bolts onto the collar, so it's probably best not to split those two up.

Chest display: TK 409 chest display.

Flak Jacket: Made by Bobamaker. Has Velcro sewn into it for the chest and shoulders, and has slits in the back for the jet pack harness (hidden by back plate). Neck seal sewn in.
